Renee and Shawn booked their Engagement Session to take place with us over Thanksgiving Break. We ended up being dealt a pretty cold, rainy, dreary day.... Being that they were only in town for a short while we decided to suck it up and battle the weather.  Like true champs this might have been a first for these two caught in a battlefield of paintball war in an bandoned steel mill, walking around downtown Bethlehem, and shooting a pose on a pool table at the Tally Ho.  This made for some unique settings that you could tell totally matched their style.  Totally excited for their wedding next October in Central Park.

 

Lastly some final images from our 2 hours of running around between University of Scranton and Marywood University in the rain.

More to come....

Ahhhh so Jim and I were so excited to travel up to the the Scranton/Wilkesparre area for Matt & Lindsey's wedding as we are avid watchers of "The Office"..... So very excited to visit this city for the first time. On top of taking place in the Electric City, the wedding also happened to be on Halloween.  Win Win win... for us with clients being such wonderful hosts. The Wedding Ceremony took place at Lake Winola Methodist and the reception followed at Montdale Country Club.  Although it rained we were very prepared and efficiently hopped from a family farm, to the University of Scranton, and ended at Marywood University. Thank you to Lindsey and Matt for one of the best weekends we've ever had.... That's what she said

 

Location Location Location... need I say more, but I wanted to give Nancy & Jeremy the props for being so involved with picking the spots out for their wedding photography. I was amazed when Jim and I arrived to the Old Farmhouse for the pre ceremony shots, as well as the on location spot for our Bridal Portraits.  I was really thrilled to work with such a wonderful couple and their lovely daughter Hayden (absolutely a little doll.) The rainy weekend did not hold us back one bit, and we enjoyed hopping from PA, to MD, and lastly to White Clay Creek Country Club in Delaware all in the same day!

This last photo of Hayden melts my heart - Future Photographer!

My little neice that was born 2 months premature has just reached her 3 month marker and i definitely wanted to document that accomplishment...this was my favorite image from the other day. Happy 3 months Leah Shaelyn!

I know Nancy has been dying to see a little something from her wedding - so here you two go!   More to come in our next Blog Posts.... ;)

I was super excited to meet back up with Erin & Michael for their wedding weekend in Philly. Feels like it was just a couple months back that we did their Engagement Session back in Winter of 08.  I can honestly say they had one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies Jim and I had ever photographed and attended.

It was very personalized to fit Erin & Michael as a couple, with lots of Irish elements - from the acoustic guitar and music chosen, to the tying of the Celtic knot, down to the wedding band.   Both the ceremony and reception took place at Davio’s (Northern Italian Steakhouse) in Center City Philadelphia. Who says skulls can't be cool as wedding decor? 

 

It was a first for Jim and I visitng Valley Forge Park.... lots and lots of history here. We ended up having a lovely day hopping from photo opportunity after photo opportunity. Erica and James were very laid back, and well as you can see an absolutely stunning couple to work with!  Thanks and cannot wait for your wedding next July of 2010.

This image totally explains why I love chicken coops so much.... Canoodling in a chicken coop = Priceless

Angela and Steve had a beautiful ceremony at Packer Chapel within Lehigh University's campus, and the reception followed at The Masonic Temple in Bethlehem, PA.  What a great couple to work with… especially when we had 2 hours to kill in between the ceremony & reception… plenty of time to shoot at  all different kinds of settings, and locations!

Just a few memorable moments from Angela & Steve’s wedding reception was when a special toast was offered to Angela’s brother who couldn’t be at the wedding because he is serving overseas in Afghanistan.  Definitely a tear-jerker for everyone.  As well as the Father/daughter dance turning from a slow dance into a fast paced dance routine!
